Bush
pledges help for Filipino military
Washington, whose troops have trained Philippine units in counter-terrorism,
recently designated Manila as a major non-NATO ally -- a move that
will make it easier for the cash-strapped government to acquire
U.S. military hardware. A top U.S. official said Manila was expected
to contribute "hundreds of millions of dollars" to the
military modernisation, with Washington to chip in an amount yet
to be determined.

The
fourth world war
For two years, the U.S. has pursued the culprits behind the 9/11
atrocities with a vengeance that has shocked and awed ally and enemy
alike. But even the devastating attacks on the Afghan and Iraqi

U.S. troops head to Philippines
About 750 ground troops, including 350 Special Operations Forces,
will conduct or support combat patrols in the rugged jungles of
Sulu Province. In addition, about 1,000 marines armed with Cobra
attack helicopters and Harrier AV-8B attack planes will stand ready
aboard two ships offshore to act as a quick-response force and provide
logistics and medical support. The first troops are expected to
arrive within days, officials said.
